I have Visual Studio for Mac and I'm trying to learn Xamarin with Azure using the following tutorial: https://adrianhall.github.io/develop-mobile-apps-with-csharp-and-azure/chapter3/server/
At some point, I have to enable EF migrations. The tutorial says: Go to View -> Other Windows -> Package Manager Console.
Unfortunately there is no Package Manager Console in Visual Studio for Mac... so how do you handle things like enable-migrations
, add-migration
or update-database
on the Mac?
To run EF on Mac just follow the following.
Open a command line, go to the project folder, and run
dotnet restore
If everything is fine, you should be able to run
dotnet ef
After that you can run commands like:
dotnet ef migrations add initial
dotnet ef database update
